That's for your wired LAN?  You may want to keep that running.

You should be able to start separate instance of dhclient for wlan0.

That's because it has not associated with your access point (status: no
carrier).  Maybe you should use wpa_supplicant like you did before, and
then try dhclient.

I think this simplifies to:

$ sudo kill `cat /var/run/dhclient.wlan0.pid` # if already running
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 ssid WALUBAME up
$ sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
$ sudo dhclient -v -1 wlan0
